The Comfortable Kitchen: 105 Laid-Back, Healthy, and Wholesome Recipes (A Defined Dish Book)

This is the second book by this author that I have in my kitchen. It has a wonderful variety of recipes and I find myself going to it daily for ideas. She has developed recipes that are easy to make and full of flavor, plus they are healthy. After 60 years of preparing meals I needed some new recipes to try. A great collection. Joanna

Alex Snodgrass is SO GREAT - she has curated meals that appeal to everyone. This book also gives staples to purchase to set up for success in the kitchen. She uses whole ingredients, and has so many different food genres. I love how her books and recipes has evolved - love all 3 books!

Alex is the queen of delicious weeknight recipes. This book is packed full of wonderful dishes. My favorites so far are the Deconstructed Falafel Salad, Chopped Chipotle Chicken Salad and Peruvian-Inspired Chicken with Tangy Green Sauce. The sauces and dressings in these meals are the stars of the book. I can’t wait to work my way through the rest of the book. There are also photos for each recipe which is a nice touch.

I started following The Defined Dish about 1 year ago. Bought the first book, loved it! Since then I have almost exclusively cooked from the book and the blog. Obviously, when The Comfortable Kitchen was announced, I pre-ordered right away. It did not disappoint! If you like Alex’s style of cooking, you are going to love this book as well. So many unique recipes with tons of flavor. Recipes are easy to follow. So far I have cooked about 10 different dishes and they have all been fantastic! I will definitely be reaching for this book every week before heading to the grocery.

The Defined Dish never disappoints. Long time fan and have all of her cookbooks. This one is probably my favorite! I purchased for a favorite things party with some Graza Olive Oil and it was a hit.

Let me start by saying I love Alex Snograss’ cookbooks. I’ve had The Defined Dish for years, I preordered The Comfortable Kitchen when it came out and I’ve already preordered her new cookbook coming out after Christmas this year. There are so many great recipes in this one that my whole family (including picky toddlers enjoy). My kids especially love the Monster Cookie Bites and the Almond Butter cookies. This cookbook has been well loved, so I’m very disappointed that it’s falling apart after only a few years.

I adore Alex Snodgrass; my admiration for her began three years ago when I embarked on the Whole30 journey. I prepared nearly every dish from her first book, "The Defined Dish," and it still sits on my kitchen counter. While I mostly cook Whole30 meals, I still crave comfort food, and that's where her new book comes into play. It brilliantly combines comfort with healthiness and offers flexibility based on how strictly you want to follow. One standout recipe is the Green Chile Chicken and Rice Soup, a hit with both my daughters and husband. Alex truly inspires a love for cooking and experimenting with various ingredients. I cherished this book so much that I gifted it to a friend who shares my passion for cooking and healthy eating during Christmas

I absolutely adore Alex and her recipes! I have recently worked through many recipes from this cook book. Each recipe is splendid and quite easy! I love the addition of cocktails as well. BUT I have to say, I LOVED her first cookbook over this as I prefer the type and style of food. If I were to gift one or the other, I’d choose The Defined Dish. Hopefully this helps someone debating between the 2!

Excelente entrega. Nuevo. Muy buen libro.

Absolutely love this book!! The recipes are easy and the ingredients easy to find and adjustable if you are not into the Whole30 or paleo!! The one-pot Cajun chicken dish or the white bean soup omg favs for sure! I’ll keep on trying the recipes but so far a real winner! I’m looking into getting her first cookbook since I love the second one so much! Love the tip section!! This book is always on my counter because it’s an easy book to turn too and have the ingredients on hand to make a nice dish for dinner if you lack inspo.

This is a great cookbook from Alex with so many easy and comforting recipes which such good flavour. I also own her first cookbook which has so many go to recipes for me and my family!

Healthy, clean eating with easy to follow recipes. For the most part the ingredients are easy to find here in Canada at a local health food/grocery store like Goodness Me, Farm Boy or online at Well.ca.

I’ve tried several of the recipes in this book so far and they have been amazing! I’m a loyal Defined Dish follower and have tried majority of her recipes and I’ve never been disappointed.
